I've started flying again, and some of the things/places I fly are more interested in time in type than my old paper log shows. I'm considering going to some form of electronic logging (currently for Android and/or Linux but likely moving to iPad next year for EFB compatibility).

Question: When I start up with a new program, do I merely summarize my flight experience and ignore the tail number and a/c type? I've flown a few different birds in my time, and trying to go back through 3 logs and setting everything correctly would be a royal pain.
